While most people know Cobie Smulders from her role as the hilarious news anchor on "How I Met Your Mother," the 30-year-old actress is blowing up the big screen this month as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill in "The Avengers.

But besides dominating both the big and small screens, this Canadian-born hockey fan is a mother to a three-year-old girl and is engaged to "Saturday Night Live" star Taran Killam.

And other than the fact that her real name is Jacoba Francisca Maria Smulders after her father's favorite aunt, there's still a ton you don't know about Cobie.
